WellI pledge my head to heaven for the gospel
And I ask no man on earth to fill my needs.
Like the sparrow up aboveI am enveloped in his love
And I trust him like those little oneshe feeds.
Well I pledge my wife to heavenfor the gospel
Though our love each passing day just seems to grow.
As I told her when we wedI’d surely rather be found dead
Than to love her more than the one who saved my soul.
I’m your childand I want to be in your family forever.
I’m your childand I’m going to follow you
No matter whatever the costI’m gonna count all things lost.
Well I pledge my son to heaven for the gospel.
Though he’s kicked and beatenridiculed and scorn.
I will teach him to rejoiceand life a thankful praising voice
And to be like him who bore the nails and crown of thorns.
I’m your childand I want to be in your family forever.
I’m your childand I’m going to follow you
No matter whatever the costI’m gonna count all things lost.
Oh no matter whatever the costI’m gonna count all things lost.
Well I’ve had the chance to gain the worldand to live just like a king
But without your loveit doesn’t mean a thing.
Oh no matter whatever the costI’m gonna count all things lost
Oh no matter whatever the costI’m gonna count all things lost.
Well I pledge my sonI pledge my wifeI pledge my head to heaven
I pledge my sonI pledge my wifeI pledge my head to heavenfor the gospel.
